"And that's it. Bai Xuan took out a pistol bullet, pinched the bullet and forced, with his current strength, he easily pulled the bullet out of the cartridge case.

He poured out the gunpowder inside.

"Another kind of gunpowder is needed, no smoke can be produced when it explodes, the speed of the explosion cannot be too fast, and the bottom of this shell also needs to use the demonized cloud lead as the primer for detonation. ”

"Smokeless gunpowder, that needs to be removed from the black sulfur, or reduced in proportion, well, maybe we still need to find a replacement. ”

"Can you try using treated black pine chips, or the magic method to deal with black sulfur?" Bai Xuan shook his head, "I don't understand this, the master depends on you." ”

"No problem, Your Highness, ...... tomorrow Uh, give me a few days. Master Thomas extinguished his pipe, "Why can't it explode too quickly?"

"If you explode too quickly, you will explode the shell, but what we really need is to have a very high gas pressure when the gunpowder explodes, so that the warhead can be launched in an instant - I will show you that tomorrow. ”

In fact, it was so lively, except for the falling god, no one else had seen the power of the pistol, but they only had a little understanding of the explosion.

It's time for them to see the power of real hot weapons, so that everyone can be motivated.

"As for the grenade sample after the charge, I hope to see it tomorrow as well, and ask the master to help Fili finish it. Bai Xuan said, "Fili also needs your help to make a set of magic energy control transformation devices. ”

Master Thomas nodded and winked at the dwarf: "This ashtray, bring me one too." ”

Fili grabbed his hair and grinned, "Of course." ”

Bai Xuan smiled, and then filled the wine glass in front of the three of them.

"Cheers. ”

Contrary to his expectations, it was Master Thomas who was the first to get drunk, but the dwarf Fili became more and more sober, and finally the wine was finally over when the master remembered a noblewoman who had left a deep memory on him and shed tears of remorse.

The guards and Filip took the crooked master away, leaving Bai Xuan sitting at his desk in a daze.

In the past, he would also be noisy and reminiscent with his comrades-in-arms like today, and he would rest drunk.

Now this is just a strange world, and once it quiets down, he will feel inexplicably melancholy.

Probably because of the beginning of the aging of the mental age, the shell of a young man contains a not-so-young soul, although it seems that the difference is less than ten years.

A warm jade-like pointed ear suddenly poked out of the doorway.

"Haven't slept yet?"

"Haven't slept yet?"

Asked in unison, followed by a brief silence.

"I just wanted to sit in front of the fireplace. ”

"Hmm. ”

Falling God walked in and sat down in front of the fireplace.

"In the oasis, I fall asleep every night with a campfire, I can see the bright stars, and it feels very close. ”

Rakin picked up a book, but his eyes were fixed on the orange flame in the fireplace.

"Arctic Oasis, what kind of place is it?"

"It's a big, green forest with hundreds of feet of ancient trees, they are the guardians of the oasis and the home we live on. ”

"Do you live in a tree?"

"It's a tradition of the elves. ”

"No wonder you feel so close to the stars. ”

“......”

"What about the royal capital?"

"Do you mean the chalk king?"

"Hmm. ”

"The royal capital is called Dark Radiance City, there are a lot of people, there are a lot of interesting places, I will take you to see it in the future. ”

"Good. ”

There was a quiet conversation that lasted until late at night, and Luoshen didn't know when he had fallen asleep in front of the fireplace, and the chair was covered with a thick animal skin blanket, which had already been transformed into a sofa by Bai Xuan, and it was very suitable for sleeping.

Bai Xuan stared at her from afar, could feel her even breathing, and felt an unusually calm heart.

He walked over and gently put his clothes on her, then returned to the rocking chair in front of the bed, slowly shaking and closing his eyes.

......

When Bai Xuan woke up, it was already dawn, and Luoshen didn't know when he had gone back, and his clothes were back on him, and he seemed to be still exuding a faint fragrance.

I really had a good night's sleep.

Breakfast was as usual, Luoshen seemed to have forgotten about falling asleep in front of the fireplace, and Bai Xuan didn't say a word.

A busy day passed quickly.

The next day, Winter Thunder came early in the morning to discuss the expansion of the castle and its surroundings, and as the two teams moved in, the castle's original dwellings suddenly became crowded, and the guards of the Hofel family had to set up tents outside, which seemed to attract a lot of dissatisfaction among the samurai.

The guards that Kington transferred from the Hofer family are not as formal as the royal guards, and they are actually more idle within the family in normal times, these samurai are all veterans, they have experienced a lot, and they are not so in awe of everything, and after arriving here, they will not change immediately.

"Your Highness, the left and right sides of the castle were originally intended to be built with two small fortresses to defend the castle, and in the future they will be connected by city walls, and the fortresses include residences, and I have expanded the original plan five times to accommodate thousands of people. Dong Lei said as he ate.

"At the back of the castle were to be built two fortresses in the east and west directions, the middle of which could be used as a residence for the families, leaving a small square, and then the arena for the training of the samurai army, and the open space on both sides was the various warehouses and alchemy rooms, blacksmith shops, and handicraft workshops. Dong Lei continued.

"In this case, it will become a real castle, and you will be responsible for these things, as for the gold coins, I still have a few thousand in my hand, all of them will be given to you, and you will pay for the insufficient part first, and I will make it up to you after the fief. Bai Xuan said.

"Yes, Your Highness, but there is no need to make up for it, the castle is just funded by the Hofer family. Dong Lei shook his head, "It's just that the funds are limited, and they are enough at present, and then we will have to rely on taxes." ”

Bai Xuan nodded, the matter of financial revenue is imminent, otherwise everything is empty talk, but if the matter of the fief does not come down for a day, there is no way to change the status quo of Ember City.

Now that someone has a weapon, the plan to hunt the Rift Beast must be on the agenda.

"In two days at the latest, the hunting group will start moving, starting to select samurai today, and send a scout team to the Black Curse Forest before evening to fight the front station and find the main location of the rift beast. Bai Xuan said, "I will let Kareth and Wonshan take care of this matter, and your guards will be responsible for staying behind in the castle." ”

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

"How's the manpower?"

"Servants can be recruited from nearby civilians, if the remuneration is reasonable, the number is not a problem, what is lacking is skilled craftsmen, the family has sent several high-level construction stonemasons from Silver Leaf City, and they will probably arrive tomorrow. Dong Lei replied, "As for the craftsmen of the handicraft workshop, I have already sent someone to recruit them from Que Rift City, and the results should be available soon." ”

Bai Xuan nodded, Dong Lei did have a talent in business and administrative affairs, which made him worry a lot.

"Has the Hoffil family decided to support you?" he asked.

"Yes, Your Highness, but the resources given are limited for the time being. "Winter Thunder didn't hide it.

"It's already a good result. Bai Xuan said, "Time will prove that your choice is right." ”

"I have no doubts, Your Highness. ”

Suddenly, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and the maid Holly ran in with a pale face.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Lord Careth, please hurry to the arena. ”

"What happened?"

"There's a fight outside!"
